Ian Holloway pronounced himself “chuffed as a badger at the start of mating season” after victory over Derby County in the FA Cup on Saturday and the Plymouth Argyle manager is still feeling deeply attracted to the competition after his side were handed a realistic route to the semi-finals in yesterday’s draw.

The other Coca-Cola Championship side still involved, West Bromwich Albion, will be less thrilled at missing out on a windfall after the BBC and Sky opted not to televise their fifth-round replay against Middlesbrough despite the obvious potential for an upset.
